Morning everyone...
My name's Chris and I'm
an alcoholic.... ooops!
My name's Chris and I'm a non-modelling modeller. By which I mean that I used to be/intend to be/am at heart a scale plastic modeller. I'm actually hoping that, now that I've been invited to join this
motley crew... errr... august band, I will be inspired to actually build something. I am in fact very involved with the hobby but circumstances have dictated that it has been quite some time (understatement) since I completed anything. I've been a bit 'nomadic' since I left Bridlington at the age of 17 to join the air force and my most prolific bout of plastic-assembling was probably during my time in Stafford, as a member of the local IPMS Branch. I am currently lodged in a foreign country (just a few miles from Chester but in Wales) so attendance at Driffield meetings may be a bit of a stretch.
Having said that, I do count several Brid and Wolds members as good friends and I always enjoy the times that we DO spend together so you never know... I visit Brid (infrequently) and I will make an effort to coincide with a meeting. I had tentative plans to locate back to East Yorkshire at some point but, as my other half has become a doting 'nanny' during the pandemic, this now seems a remote possibility. Still, never say never...
I look forward to getting to know a few more of you and, in the meantime, trying to work out where I can find the space to build a few items from my 'stash' which, if any proof were needed of my credentials, is probably larger than most of you can possibly imagine!. Anyone fancy opening a shop???
Oh, subjects of interest are varied - mainly post-WWII to present day aviation. UK and European for preference but not carved in stone. In fact, one stalled project is a boat diorama! And I take photographs, partly for a living and partly for the pleasure.
That's me for now!
Hi Chris, nice to have you as a member.
Now you can reveal all.
